Sweet Blogging Friends....

In this world of technology we have access to so many things and to so many people.

And they have access to us.

And that can be quite scary.

When I started this blog I was very nervous about putting myself out there.

But I will say that the benefits of getting to know my fellow bloggers and readers is worth any kind of nervousness that I may have.

I am floored at the kindness and sweetness of my fellow bloggers that I have "met" so far.

I truly feel like that if I broke down in Maine, for instance, that I might could email one of my Maine friends and they would help if at all possible....and that goes for Canada, and Arizona, and Illinois,  North Carolina, Missouri, New York, Texas....and so many more....you know what I mean?

I truly feel like I have "met" the most amazing and kind people through my blog.

I received a package today from one of my friends that I have met through blogging.

She and I have emailed, we have talked about our faith, she has encouraged me and I have encouraged her.

She has a great blog with beautiful photography http://mysweetmaine.blogspot.com/

She sent me this note card, which by the way is her own personal photography. (she is so talented)

And after reading her sweet words I promptly put it on Madea (the world's largest refrigerator) so I could see it every day.

It makes me smile...:)

And that's not all she sent......

She said she saw these chicken plaques and decided I must have them.

Is that not the sweetest thing?

Right now they are on my shelf above my french doors but I know I will put them all over the kitchen until I decide they are in the perfect spot!

I feel very blessed by getting to know her and each of you.

And not because you get presents....lol....(thank you Kathleen, My Sweet Maine)

 How can it be a bad thing to leave your comfort zone and make yourself more available to people, who, in turn, have made themselves available to you?

To learn about people who don't live just like you, or look just like you.

I, for one, have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know each of you 

and look forward to even more friendships.

Thank you again my sweet friend Kathleen!

And thanks to the rest of my sweet blogging friends just for putting yourselves out there!
